Moving Pictures or Motion Pictures were very popular at Olentangy Park. There was a Theatorium attraction, also known as the Motion Picture Exhibit most likely held in the Scenic Temple, a building that held many types of artistic displays.[1] The July 1907 fire that destroyed the first building (the Theatorium) was started by a firecracker thrown onto the roof. It destroyed the primary Theatorium building[2] and spread to other nearby exhibits like Hale's Tours of the World and the Photographic Gallery. The motion picture building was rebuilt the following year as the Motion Picture Exhibit. It reopened on May 2, 1908.[3]
